As many as 10,000 show up for a Mountain Moral Monday

Asheville Citizen-Times called Mountain Moral Monday “the largest local protest in recent memory” after initial police crowd estimates had to be revised up to as many as 10,000 people:

“There were people from counties all over the west,” [Former NC Rep. Patsy Keever] said. “People are completely frustrated with the legislation that has come out of Raleigh. This rally gave them a chance to come together and feel the unity of knowing that something needs to be changed.”

SAVE THE DATE – Moral Monday goes statewide on August 28th

On August 28th, the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington, North Carolina will heed Dr. King’s call at the end of his “I Have a Dream” speech to go home and organize! We will hold 13 simultaneous rallies in each US Congressional district.

Locations of 13 rallies across the state in each Congressional district:
